Jean-Gabriel Gill-Couture b18c8d534a feat(kvm): add 17 unit tests and VM examples for all infrastructure patterns
Add comprehensive XML generation tests covering: multi-disk VMs,
multi-NIC configurations, MAC addresses, boot order, memory conversion,
sequential disk naming, custom storage pools, NAT/route/isolated
networks, volume sizing, builder defaults, q35 machine type, and
serial console.

Add kvm-vm-examples binary with 5 scenarios:
- alpine: minimal 512MB VM, fast boot for testing
- ubuntu: standard server with 25GB disk
- worker: multi-disk (60G OS + 2x100G Ceph OSD) for storage nodes
- gateway: dual-NIC (WAN NAT + LAN isolated) for firewall/router
- ha-cluster: full 7-VM deployment (gateway + 3 CP + 3 workers)

Each scenario has clean and status subcommands.

19 KVM unit tests pass (17 new + 2 existing).

KVM VM Examples

Demonstrates creating VMs with various configurations using harmony's KVM module. These examples exercise the same infrastructure primitives needed for the full OKD HA cluster with OPNsense, control plane, and workers with Ceph.

Prerequisites

A working KVM/libvirt setup:

# Manjaro / Arch
sudo pacman -S qemu-full libvirt virt-install dnsmasq ebtables
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
# Log out and back in for group membership to take effect

Scenarios

Scenario VMs Disks NICs Purpose
alpine 1 1x2G 1 Minimal VM, fast boot (~5s)
ubuntu 1 1x25G 1 Standard server setup
worker 1 3 (60G+100G+100G) 1 Multi-disk for Ceph OSD
gateway 1 1x10G 2 (WAN+LAN) Dual-NIC firewall
ha-cluster 7 mixed 1 each Full HA: gateway + 3 CP + 3 workers

Usage

# Deploy a scenario
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- alpine
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- ubuntu
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- worker
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- gateway
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- ha-cluster

# Check status
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- status alpine

# Clean up
cargo run -p kvm-vm-examples -- clean alpine

Environment variables

  • HARMONY_KVM_URI: libvirt URI (default: qemu:///system)
  • HARMONY_KVM_IMAGE_DIR: where disk images and ISOs are stored
